"The past couple years have been quite busy for guitarist Bill Menchen. In 2006 he completed work on the sophomore album of Final Axe, Axe Of The Apostles (a project he started in the early 90's with vocalist Keith Miles), in addition to releasing the self-titled debut of his new group, The Seventh Power. He followed up in 2007 by putting out the third Titanic CD, Full Steam Ahead, and re-recording much of the material from two of his older bands in Redeemer (Double Edged Sword and Anno Domini) and Rev Seven (Heavy Laden Volume I and Volume II). A very well done Titanic compilation entitled Wreckage also hit the shelves in 2007 before the artist delivered the second full length album from The Seventh Power the spring of the following year, the aptly entitled Dominion & Power.
Dominion & Power finds The Seventh Power continuing to draw upon the influences of straightforward heavy metal and hard rock. The main difference this time around is that Menchen pursues a more stripped down and back to the basics musical direction- at least in comparison to the self-titled debut. Keyboards, for example, now make their presence felt less while gone are many of the previous symphonic and power touches. The trade off in the process is a heavier and more guitar driven effort that brings to mind Menchen's earlier work with Rev Seven (although fans of Redeemer, Titanic and Final Axe are certain to find a lot to like here). Otherwise, Dominion & Power should appeal to those into Saint, Armageddon, Barren Cross and post Weapons… era Deliverance and perhaps even Ozzy and Black Sabbath as well."
